How does WhatsApp Business API pricing work?
Meta charges per conversation (a 24-hour messaging window), not per message. Pricing varies by country and category: marketing, utility, authentication, or service.
What is the difference between marketing and utility conversations?
Marketing conversations include promotional messages, offers, and newsletters. Utility conversations are transactional — order confirmations, shipping updates, appointment reminders. Utility rates are lower.
Are service conversations free?
Service conversations (customer-initiated) are currently free in most regions as of 2024. This may change — always check Meta's current pricing page for your country.
Why do prices vary by country?
Meta sets per-country rates based on local market conditions. India and some African markets are significantly cheaper than Europe or Brazil.
How can I reduce my WhatsApp API costs?
Use utility messages instead of marketing where possible, batch conversations into 24-hour windows, and respond promptly to customer-initiated conversations (free). DMHub's automation engine helps you stay within conversation windows.
